REPORT. 
We, the undersigned, a committee appointed to examine into the merits 
of the blacksmiths’ bellows exhibited, have to report that we consider those 
shown by the “ Milwaukee Bellows Company ” superior to any we have ever 
seen. They appear to be carefully made from the best of material. They 
are provided with patent self-packing valves which effectually prevents the 
gas from being drawn into them. They have a much stronger and more 
uniform blast, and are evidently of superior construction and finish. We 
desire also to make special mention of their “ double-acting bellows,” a 
novelty in this line, of great strength and durability, and an article which 
must come into very general use. We recommend a diploma.
